The jittery bridge between an epic, 19-min Truckin' and a pretty cool TOO...

This one is *very* close to surpassing 2/27 for me -- much to my surprise! In many ways more akin to a '72 version in terms of the diversity of terrain it traverses, yet still with that primal sound and energy. Fantastic stuff, from perhaps the best show of the run...

Hot and tight! Surprised I had to scroll so far to find it...

An all-timer kicking off an all-time great show, just two weeks before they recorded the studio version...

Am I the only one who finds '73 PITB's slightly underwhelming compared to their Fall '72 counterparts? Don't get me wrong, they're well-played and great to vibe to, but they don't seem to be as complex for the most part...
